I know this guy. He's really a great person. He didn't state that he was agnostic, atheist or theist. Only that he opposed the dogma of established religion. Shouldn't we all be? And what's wrong with that? Isn't this why we have separation of church and state?

nekom:Jesus, just say you're an atheist. No reason to go full clownshiat

Right, because no atheist would make an ass of themselves by spouting pseudo-religious dogma. I mean I've been told again and again on here that ALL atheists believe in science and ALL atheists are hardcore rationalists and basically that ALL atheists have exactly the same values as some random white, middle-class North Americans.

Every man worships his own particular brand of spaghetti, my brother.They just have different names for them.God, Allah, Yahweh, Bodistvah, Shiva, Zeus, Odin, Rumpsplitter the Magnificent - it's all just spaghetti.

Odd. Whye would you even listen to people like that, let alone cite them as authorities on some school of thought or other?You must not be terribly bright.

The older I get the more I can't stand this bullshiat. Is that called maturity? There is a difference between disagreeing with religion and showing childish contempt for it. This is pretty clearly the latter. This is foolish, nothing else, you can see it on the face of the woman swearing him in "Is this what I have to farking do today? Serve this moron?" I legitimately think this shows contempt for the courts as well, and as such he shouldn't be sworn in.

"Some people will see it as obnoxious or a sign that he's not taking the oath of office seriously,"Yup, pretty much.

And as for religion without dogma? I find pastafarians dogmatically moronic. Try to have one serious, adult, informed conversation about, say, hinduism, or sikhism with an avowed pastafarian. Try. They are just athiests who instead of being passive or militant or flighty went full retard.

You think worshipping pasta is odd? Look at the Christians. They wear ancient execution devices around their necks to worship an imaginary guy who was executed per Roman law related to brigandage, highway robbery and treason. That shows a distinct lack of maturity and sanity.

Oh look, an uniformed fool. How delightfully unoriginal.I bet you think sports aren't scripted, and your video games are good.You're wrong a lot.

UNC_Samurai:Eddie Adams from Torrance: We should ban politicians who openly belong to made-up religions.

I'm okay with this, since that nukes each and every mega-church preaching the Prosperity Gospel.

the megachurches have been really ramping up the 'christians are persecuted' talk again lately. I get a sense that they're building up to a big easter show this year. maybe this is their lead in for the 2014 congressional mid term elections?

Uniformed? I am not a soldier. Unless you think I am uninformed since I do not blindly accept your religious fairy tales as fact. And crucifixion was the punishment for crimes against the state, such as treason and brigandage.
